Save the Children US

It’s National Volunteer Week and we can’t miss the chance to celebrate every Save the Children volunteer in the U.S and worldwide. Thank you for making a difference for kids and their communities ✨ We’re also grateful to our corporate partners for bringing their teams together so more children can grow up happy, healthy and safe. Last year, our 20-year partner Mattel, Inc. helped #MakeSummerFair for hundreds of children during their Play It Forward Global Volunteer Week along with Once Upon a Farm, americangirl and our Save the Children Trustee and Ambassador Jennifer Garner. Volunteers are an integral part of our organization, contributing to our mission for children in a variety of ways that create positive change for kids everywhere.

Thousands of children in Myanmar have lost everything 😔 Homes destroyed. Families displaced. This crisis is far from over. Even before the earthquake, children were facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the region. Now, 1.1 million children urgently need lifesaving support—and that number is rising. As conditions worsen, Save the Children is on the ground, responding fast with essential needs. But we can’t do it alone. Your support can make a difference.

We work tirelessly so children can have the chance to thrive. Yet, today nearly half of all deaths among children under five are linked to hunger.   Take a glimpse inside one of Save the Children’s stabilization centers in Somalia. Fadumo, a dedicated health worker, shares how she and her team care for children battling life-threatening malnutrition. Her motivation is ours:   “What inspires me most is seeing a child who was very sick yesterday, walking away today with a smile,” Fadumo says.   🌎 🚑 This World Health Day, we join the humanitarian and development community in raising awareness about the importance of investing in maternal and newborn health. Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy and strong.   #WorldHealthDay

For a child, books are more than just stories —they are windows to the world🪟🌍 Through books, children begin to understand language, learn about different cultures and develop their imagination. The magic of a good book ✨ can also spark curiosity, foster empathy and inspire lifelong learning.   We all have that one book that marked our childhood and shaped our view of the world 📖
